SNOW DAY ASSIGNMENT
Hey guys,
Your assignment for the snow day is to make a map of your snow day activities only using icons. No words. Make the map in illustrator and print off for your sketchbook. An example of a map...this could show I went the U to sled...then off to the cafeteria...or maybe its just the progression of you around the apartment...I moved from the couch to chair, to fridge to bed. All must paths and destinations must be shown with drawing...no words. Don't forget your signage assignment for Thursday and I'll see you then.
